Behold him merry by the musicians booth
I couldst see he was but a youth
The rhythm made me swoon
For they played my fav’rite tune
An I knew twould nay be long
Til he was wi’ me, aye me
An I knew twould nay be long
Til he was wi’ me, aye me, singing

I crave bardic lute
Toss another coin to yon bard milady
I crave bardic lute
Come spend th’eventide and make merry

He grinn’d thus I approached to ask his name
‘It matters not’ he quipped,
“For tis all the same”
Asked “Couldst I take thee home, whither we shalt be alone?”
An lo we traveled on,
He was wi me aye me
An lo we traveled on
He was with me aye me singing
An I knew twould nay be long
Til he was wi’ me, aye me, singing

I crave bardic lute
Toss another coin to yon bard milady
I crave bardic lute
Come spend th’eventide and make merry

Asked “Couldst I take thee home, whither we shalt be alone?”
An lo we traveled on,
He was wi me aye me
An lo we traveled on
He was with me aye me singing
An I knew twould nay be long
Til he was wi’ me, aye me, singing

(Repeat Chorus 5x)

QotD: Modern Vienna

Filed under: Europe, History, Quotations — Tags: , — Nicholas @ 01:00

There are four ages of modern Vienna. Before the First World War, it was cultured and rich; from 1918 until the Anschluss with Nazi Germany, it was cultured and poor; from 1938 to the end of the Allied occupation, it was just poor; and from 1955 to the present, it has just been rich.
